Blurb

They call me a God, Demon, Monster.
Depends on which side of me they’ve faced.
I’m cold, with an insatiable thirst for blood, lust, and money.
If you’ve got my attention,
You’re either next on my list, or about to slip into my sheets.
I’m Arthur Calthorpe, leader of the Tabella Della Morte.
I don’t trust, I own.
I don’t love, I desire.
I don’t ask, I take.
And I want Gaia.

The silver-haired tyrant is a ruthless criminal,
The first time I saw him was in my mother’s bed,
But the monster has set his sights on me.
He’s relentless, and he’s found my Achilles heel.
When he offers me a bargain, I’m hard-pressed to refuse.
What lengths am I willing to go to be free of him, and how far will he go to stop me.
The trouble is those eyes and the fact that I want to know the story behind them.

My Review

“The Calthorpes don’t do second chances, and around here, there was no God but us.”

Inexorable by Jo-Anne Joseph is book number twelve in the Cavalieri Della Morte series. This is the one we have ALL been waiting for, the man behind the scenes and the leader of the Cavalieri Della Morte. This book is EVERYTHING I had hoped it would be when we FINALLY got the man of the hour, Arthur Calthorpe’s story.

Arthur “Diavolo” Calthorpe, the legendary ruler, creator, and man in charge of the assassins of the Cavalieri Della Morte. Arthurs family is one of the oldest, affluent, feared families in New Orleans. Arthur had his first kill at only eleven years old and learned early in life that love makes you weak. The night his father was murdered was the same night he killed his own wife and best friend. Betrayal has made Arthur into the hardened ruthless man he is today.

So when Charles Russo and his brother decided to aid an enemy of Arthur’s, they must pay. But this time, he’s not letting his Cavalieri handle things, it’s time for Arthur to get his hands dirty. There are no second chances when it comes to a man like Arthur Calthorpe.

“I wanted her to beg, I wanted her to submit. I wanted her to obey. I would not stop until she did.”

Gaia Russo, a music teacher at a prestigious school in NOLA and the daughter of Charles Russo. Gaia hates her family. If it wasn’t for her twin brother Gabe she would have been long gone by now. Gabe is an addict and Giai spends most of her evenings pulling him out of drug dens. But Gaia is determined to get Gabe and herself away from the family that is constantly trying to pull them under.

The first time Giai meets Arthur, she knows there’s nothing but darkness behind those eyes. But when Gia’s father betrays Arthur and he decides to use her and Gabe as pawns, Arthur has overestimated the love this father has for his children and his plan backfires.

“He’s not a monster, Gaia, he’s just been exposed to the dark for too long. Much like you and me.”

But when an enemy from the past reappears, Arthur and Giai’s story is about to get a whole lot more complicated…

Gahhh who would have thought? Arthur went from a man I absolutely despised to a man I can most definitely tolerate. Lol, no but seriously Jo-Anne has given me a completely different side of Arthur. I absolutely loved this story, I mean what’s not to like? There’s revenge, suspense, addiction, adultery, abuse, murder, mystery, sex, and a whole bunch of twist and turns along the way!

“She could never have a normal life with me. She was too beautiful for the chaos that surrounded me. She was too perfect for the imperfection that was my life. Gaia was my only weakness.”

Like I said getting a totally different side of Arthur, and seeing what made him into the man he is was a real eye-opener for me. I knew that something tragic had happened in his past, but I never in a million years thought that his first wife had betrayed him in such a way but knowing what I know now, I’m looking at each and every one of these books in a whole new light.

Giai was such a badass heroine! She was tired of the monsters so she took matters into her own hands, she didn’t sit back and wait for a man to do it for her. I absolutely LOVED that! Gabe and Giai both had been through quite a lot and my heart broke for them as children. If Jo-Anna feels like giving us Gabe’s story at some point, that would be fan-fucking-tastic, sign me up!

“His darkness was my safe place.”

Absolutely loved seeing some of the other guys again and their relationship with Arthur, especially the relationship between Arthur and Lance since this is AFTER Lance and Giuliana (Arthur’s daughter) got together. LOVED IT!

“I heard them before I saw them, a smile spreading across my face. The Cavalieri were here, and they sounded angry as hell. Like I’d tried to tell my father, loyalty was at the core of the organization. Loyalty did not come from blood ties.”

Jo-Anne Joseph is a new to me author but DAMN did she do a hell of a job with this one! What a way to bring this whole series together, seriously EXCELLENT installment. Seriously, I was hooked from start to finish, I HIGHLY recommend checking out Inexorable.

“The broken parts of him fit with mine perfectly.”
